The Battle of Bunker Hill reconstructs the June 1775 fighting on the Charlestown peninsula outside Boston. It explains why colonial forces fortified Breed’s Hill, how British troops launched repeated frontal assaults and why the defenders eventually withdrew after running short of ammunition.
Although Britain captured the position, its heavy casualties demonstrated that the rebellion could not be suppressed cheaply. The book places the battle within the siege of Boston and the creation of the Continental Army, while examining how the phrase “Bunker Hill” became shorthand for determined resistance.
